Comment:
Dr. Sutton is extremely unapproachable. During class she would tell people not to ask questions in the chat and you couldn't ask out loud either. Very boring to listen to and got mad often. The class isn't hard but would recommend taking a different prof if you can

This class was pretty easy but the tests are not open note so make sure to study. She's a nice person but I definitely got a little bored with lecture because it was just a powerpoint and she goes a little slow for my taste. Easy class though and if you study the powerpoint you will do well.

Comment:
She is monotone and talks super slowly, but I literally put her in the background for every single class, did not look at any powerpoints until the day of the exams, and I got an A on every single one. I did take this class online, so it may have been easier, but all the assignments are pretty easy and her instructions and expectations are clear.

I would recommend keeping up with all of the lectures, powerpoint, and taking notes. If you dont come to class you will be behind, tests are hard. Would not recommend meeting outside of class. I would recommend taking someone else if I were given the option.

The class material is very simple especially if you have taken health in high school. The key is to read the book and take good notes. Other then that the class is very straight forward. Sutton is annoying but you'll get though it just put your head down and do everything thats assigned.

EASIEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN. Never used the textbook. She randomly started doing zoom meetings but I didn't go to a single one because you weren't required to go and I was doing just fine. I looked at the class schedule maybe once a week to see what I needed to do and I wouldn't go back until the next week, so so so easy online.

Professor Sutton is very passionate about what she teaches. She does go off track a little bit in lectures. I would definitely recommend attending lectures and she provides a lot of exam questions.

Comment:
I came into HTH 100 interested to learn about the different topics, but Professor Sutton was way too specific on what she wanted for anyone to enjoy the class. She would also send long emails, with this being a fully online, and at the bottom of the email say "Do not email me", which is not particularly helpful when it is a fully online class.

Dr. Sutton is a good professor. She lectures a lot which can be boring however the lectures are available online and she sometimes gives hints to test questions during class. You did not need to read the textbook to do well. She has some small assignments with very particular grading criteria but as long as you follow the rubric they are not hard

Comment:
She is the funniest professor and her lectures are very funny. With that being said, this class is so easy. If you go to her "optional" classes she does zoom polls to give word for word test questions with the answers. Her grading scale is nice where a 90-100 is a 4.0! Passing this class and getting an A is so easy, also I never used the textbook.

Dr. Sutton was honestly a good professor. Her grading criteria is really straight forward and as long as you put in the work to show up to lectures, she helps you a lot with what to expect on the exams. Shes also very kind and cares about her students. Sometimes she can go off topic during lectures but everything you need to know is on power points

TAKE THIS CLASS!! Sutton is straightforward with information and makes learning easy. If you attend her lectures, she will tell the people that actually attend what will be on tests and will even give test questions/answers if you pay attention! I just attended lectures and she gives you everything you need to know!

She was really nice, but takes HTH100 way too seriously. Her tests are pretty difficult compared to other HTH100 professors. Other assignments are pretty simple, just make sure to read the directions carefully. I would take HTH100 with a different professor if you can.

Dr. Sutton made this class so interesting. She held in person class and expressed her gratitude for the students that would come each week. She really cares about her students. There were very few assignments and tests can be tricky so it is important to really study and do your work well. That being said, Dr. Sutton is a great option for 245!

Sutton is SO nice and she loves her students and loves what she teaches. Her lectures can be a little bit boring sometimes but she gives test questions to those who go to class. Her tests are straight from the powerpoints so as long as you study you'll be fine.

Because of the pandemic, this class moved online. However, Dr. Sutton was very indecisive on keeping the syllabus the same. She changed the syllabus without notifying the students. Also, powerpoints are uploaded to canvas, so really my class lucked out with being able to do everything our own. Just study and do what you're supposed to.

Easy A, but her voice is dreadful to listen to. I stopped reading the textbook and attending zoom lectures about halfway in. Just take someone else if you have the option.

I honestly have been to 1 zoom since we moved all online and I still have an A. Pretty easy and there's only a few quizzes and tests but you do have to a workout log and wellness passport but they're not bad. Easy A if you barely even try.
